WalruZ was whinning (he always whines) that Bucky needs some new caches in Fremont, so I obliged and posted this cache today.
Vallejo Mills Park, on the northside of the mouth of Niles Canyon, is a city park reputed to have lawns, picnic areas, and the stone ruins of the Vallejo flour mill.
Vallejo Mills Historical Park had a long history of plans and supporters before it actually became a park. The Spring Valley Water Company announced plans in 1910 to construct a park there. The Native Daughters of the Golden West marked the site with a plaque in 1936, and the Niles Chamber of Commerce tried to create a park. Many hoped it would become a State Historic Park. The City of Fremont climaxed years of negotiation and finally acquired the parkland in 1961. Vallejo Mills Historical Park was dedicated May 3, 1963.
Today, this park looks pretty much abandoned except for the stray car or two. I strongly recommend daytime caching only. This cache is also placed in a spot more convenient and more public than the cache placed for Joe Spaz's birthday.
